Benjamin Moore

Celestia Blue

1429

Celestia Blue is a pale purple with a soft blue undertone and a cool cast. An LRV of 66.13 gives it a light, airy read without becoming white. It suits bedrooms, baths, or quiet living spaces where a cool pastel is acceptable.

Pair it with Benjamin Moore White Diamond or Gray Owl for a light neutral range. Classic Gray or Balboa Mist soften the transition, while Hale Navy or Kendall Charcoal add contrast.

Celestia Blue in Different Light

Light temperature is measured in Kelvin: a warm 2700K bulb pulls colors toward yellow, while 5000K daylight reads cooler and truer. Check the color at the time of day you actually use the room.
